Before Zhang Guilan could open the door, Liu Cong pushed open the fence door and walked into the yard without hesitation, and went inside to inspect the house.
The earthen house was very new, and there wasn't even a Kang mat in the house. Naturally, there was nothing Liu Cong wanted to see.
"You haven't grown any bean sprouts these days?" His expression suddenly turned bad and his tone was dissatisfied.
Zhang Guilan stood at the door, holding a broom in his hand, and said: "I have no place to live. I have been busy building a house these days."
Liu Cong then took a look at the earthen house and remembered what she said before that it was newly built by her.
"Didn't it cost a lot of money?"
"No, no," Zhang Guilan said, "I didn't spend any money on the wood. The centimeters I owe and the adobe bricks are all on credit. I'll pay them back later when I earn money."
Liu Cong became angry all of a sudden. He jumped out of the room in two steps, stood in front of Zhang Guilan and shouted: "You didn't start making money yet and you took it on credit? We, the Liu family, will not repay this!"
Zhang Guilan took a step back with her broom in her arms, hunched her shoulders and whispered: "You don't have to pay it back. I'll pay it back myself after I earn it."
"The money you earn? Doesn't the money you earn also belong to our Liu family?! Our Liu family has raised you and your four children for more than ten years! You won't be able to pay it back in another ten years!" Liu Cong roared even louder.
If it had been before, Zhang Guilan would not have refuted it, but she also listened to what Hua Zhao said to Da Qin and Xiao Qin that day.
She whispered: "I have lived in the Liu family for 10 years and have not lived in vain. I have been paid every month, which is enough for me and my children..."
"What a fart!" The veins on Liu Cong's neck popped out: "You only have a salary but no food allowance! Even if you have money, you can't buy a grain of food! Just those 10 yuan and 20 yuan, how many can you buy on the black market?
Jin of grain? Without the care of our Liu family, you and your four sons would have starved to death! You don’t know how to be grateful, but you still think that our Liu family has taken advantage of you?"
His attitude was very fierce. Zhang Guilan saw that his fists were clenched, and she was so scared that she hugged the broom tightly.
"Hey, what you say is really rare." Hua Zhao stood behind Liu Cong and said sarcastically: "If you don't know, you would think that my mother and her four children have nothing to do with your Liu family. This is the first time.
I heard that when a man takes care of his wife and children, his wife and children should be grateful."
"Who the hell..." Liu Cong suddenly transferred, then saw Hua Zhao, and never said the rest of the words.
His eyes widened.
How could there be such a beautiful girl in the countryside? He had never dreamed of such a beautiful girl. There was someone who could be so beautiful...
In his mind, only the word "beautiful" was left.
Hua Zhao also saw Liu Cong clearly. He was in his 20s, relatively tall and strong, but had a sinister look on his face, which made him look dishonest. Looking at her now, he was even more nervous.
"Go and hang the mushrooms to dry." Hua Zhao pushed Daqin and Xiaoqin behind him, telling them to stay away so as not to get accidentally injured in a fight.
Daqin and Xiaoqin glanced at Hua Zhao, then at Liu Cong, but they didn't move by the corner of her clothes.
But their little hands were already shaking nervously.
Hua Zhao's eyes darkened and he asked, "Has he beaten you in the past?"
Daqin and Xiaoqin immediately glanced at Liu Cong and said nothing.
Hua Zhao raised his head and asked Liu Cong: "Have you beaten them before?"
"Ah...ah, what is that?" Liu Cong blushed, rubbed his hands, and stammered: "If a child is disobedient, how can he not be beaten? But I always beat him gently, gently!"
Hua Zhao looked at the expressions of Daqin and Xiaoqin again. The two children were in denial.
That's not gentle. My elder brother's beatings are neither gentle nor severe. Sometimes it hurts for several days!
Hua Zhao knew that he was a complete scumbag.
She didn't want to argue with him anymore.
"What brings you here?" she asked.
"Ah, I'm here. I'm here to see Aunt Zhang and see how she is doing and what she is missing."
Hua Zhao sneered: "There's a lot of shortages. We're short of rice, noodles, oil, and cloth. Have you brought them?"
